install Amber in Ubuntu (error initializing project)

Hi!

Now I install Amber in Ubuntu.

This command "amber init" causes an error: "/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory" (file "env" exists)

Apparently the problem in paths? Does anyone has a quick answer?

Hi!

You can have a look at this page:
http://docs.amber-lang.net/overview/installing.html

It explains how to get Amber running on Ubuntu.

HTH,
Nico

You miss node.js which is a prerequisite.

http://node.js

As Nicolas mentioned, the process is described in the link.

It works on my Ubuntu box, so should be working on yours without hassle.

Re: install Amber in Ubuntu (error initializing project)

It's probably ubuntu's specialty, but it is pretty strange to have npm but not to have node... in all other system afaik their either install in one package, or npm have node as public prerequisite. So I often presume "you have npm, you have everything you need".

Node is there, but it is called nodejs. I made a symlink in /usr/bin (or usr/local/bin) named node.

Sorry, tldr...

You seem to be running node fine (though there is a bug with some ubuntu distros that install node.js as nodejs; not node)

Black magic! ;)

I deleted the directory "bower_components" of the project directory.

Master installation run! All ok!

But why be good if it did not work before?

All that I changed, so it reinstalled the nodejs as described herein (http://docs.amber-lang.net/overview/installing.html), nothing more... (but the nodejs worked fine before)

However, the installation Amber is not trivial....

Thank you for your help!

It is!

Install npm & node (this is OS stuff), then just npm install -g amber-cli, make empty directory, run amber init in it.

Well.., it would be good to distribute the VM is fully installed Amber, for a quick start. I think so... ))

Too hard. amber cli tool is global, project is local.

IOW, there is nothing like 'amber to install'. There is only amber projects which are independent and share amber tooling.

The 'VM' used is either in node or the JavaScript interpreter in the
browser.....

What in particular did you find difficult. Are there any suggestions
how to update the instructions?

Well..,

I think a lot of external dependencies ... Amber -> nodejs & bower, Bower -> nodejs & git......

I have not used the nodejs before. I do not know what a bower. I do not understand why it is here that need the git. I want to see how easy to use the program at the front-end js.....

I think that for many neophytes will not care what version of software (nodejs, bower, git) used on this... I think that would be good to release versions of the program, which should be laid down in a single click (or virtual machine with a fully configured project "ForExample")

I think so... ;)

Re: install Amber in Ubuntu (error initializing project)

(or virtual machine with a fully configured project "ForExample")

Seriously.., I find it easier to start a few VM for its various projects. Change the mood of the project "ForExample". But I find it difficult to understand the tricky dependencies... Especially that all this software (nodejs, bower, git) is not needed for the final result. ;))

node is the only dependency.

Then to use amber you need to do

# Install the CLI tools
sudo npm install -g amber-cli

# Create the project structure
mkdir example-project
cd example-project/

# Create and initialixe a new Amber project
amber init

(copied from http://docs.amber-lang.net/getting-started.html)

I agree that node might not be so easy to install on Ubuntu if you do
not want the version which comes from the Ubuntu repo

I think Александр might be suggesting something like Aida where a Smalltalk image serves up Amber client with just a copy and run. This introduces one to Amber w/o Amber generating the server app. The developer's server app can be created in Smalltalk alone.

I do see the value of leveraging node for today's production web servers. Perhaps that value is not made more clear on the website.

node is the only dependency.

Well, sometimes npm and node are installed sepsrately, so count in npm. And bower, which gets installed and used behind the scenes, needs working git.

So list of dependencies is node, npm and git.

OTOH, this list should not be that surptising for a development...

Then to use amber you need to do

# Install the CLI tools
sudo npm install -g amber-cli

# Create the project structure
mkdir example-project
cd example-project/

# Create and initialixe a new Amber project
amber init
